    That’s so touching, all four brothers entering the family protection racket business. Remember: The family that watches sports together, extorts together.

    The Carlisle Quads positively fight over who is going to be point man when Tony goes to work.

    My dad was a two pack a day smoker add the one pack my mom smoked and everything in our apartment was coated with a yellow nicotine film. It took twelve years for my dad to die of emphysema.

    The protection is mainly that while on the job, they’re not driving.

    The Carlisle brothers don’t look very tough, I know…so you might wonder how they gravitated to this sort of business…

    Well, they’ve always been a bit rebellious…and attracted to thrills…and maybe even a bit of danger…if it wasn’t too dangerous….

    I mean, they’ll order the shrimp salad at Gas & Go … “Groceries, Gas, ’N Gormay (sic) Goodies All the Goshdarn Day” …which is mildly life-threatening…. but they’d never go shrimp diving in the actual ocean.

    The most adventurous (and obviously least bright) is probably Daryl…

    Darryl, on the other hand, is the most fond of uniforms and rituals… he designed their quilted jackets.

    Their brother Darrell threw 27 beer cans in the garbage, instead of the recycle bin… right in front of his neighbor Stanley’s college-age son.

    And their other brother, Derol, does the TV Guide crossword puzzle… in ink.

    The Carlisles seem to be wearing their souvenirs acquired from their recent stay at the Ballard Bounce and Play Resort and Sanitarium. The Portable padded room is standard issue to all guests, but they expect it to be returned upon release leaving

    @x_Tech you don’t grab images to keep? I do.Hosting them is iffy. never know if they will be deleted. I grab them because I like them. I email them to friends. only a few of what I grab gets posted. sometimes it takes Years to see the right thread for a joke I’ve kept 10-12 yrs. .Frankly your method is so unnecessarily confusing I would never get started. I do not resize to fit the column, I post thumbnails so the original can be seen/ grabbed if they want to click on it. Hosting is necessary when I get an image in email, there is no URL to seek out. way too hard your way.grab/ drag – upload/ post Done.
